ep 80- Broken Heroes, Underwear Drinking, and Decorative Books
Flight 1080
Broken Heroes, Underwear Drinking, and Decorative Books Episode 80 of Flight 1080 wanders through America’s affection for broken heroes—TV characters who were racist, drunk, abusive, or worse… and somehow still beloved. From there, Billy and Dave drift into words that perfectly describe very specific behaviors, like getting drunk in your underwear with zero plans to go outside, or buying books strictly to look smart on a shelf. Along the way, they stumble into hiraeth, paraprosdokians, and other linguistic oddities, using examples instead of explanations, because that’s more fun....

The episode also features the latest chapter in the Flight 1080 murder mystery series, Episode 48, “The Dog-Faced Deed,” where Dean Sutton is killed under eerie circumstances and an unknown, not-quite-human figure lurks behind the crime, leaving more questions...

ep 77- Love, Lies, and Backwards Beats
Flight 1080
ep 77- Love, Lies, and Backwards Beats Dave and Billy put listeners to the test in Episode 77 of Flight 1080 with a reverse-audio music contest, challenging the audience to identify songs played backward from short, distorted snippets. The episode also leans into Valentine’s season with a mix of romantic and not-so-romantic poetry, plus a few unfiltered moments where Dave makes his thoughts on love and relationships very clear. Equal parts game show, comedy, and late-night confession, this episode delivers twisted tunes, risky verses, and classic Flight 1080 honesty.

ep 75- Out of Time and Out of Their Minds
Flight 1080
Things get weird, right off the bat! Dave and Billy dig into stories of time displacement—people, animals, and even places that seem to slip out of their proper timeline. Along the way, the show veers into a series of weird, ultra-short scripts that feel like transmissions from somewhere slightly off-axis, before Mediochre Dave the Medium drops in to deliver wildly questionable future predictions for the listeners.
